Event Alert: Off The Record With Scott Hull Feat. Producer Rob Mathes, 4/25

On the next “Off The Record with Scott Hull”, coming up this Thursday (4/25), the Masterdisk chief sits down with multi-talented producer, Rob Mathes (Sting, Elton John, U2).

Rob Mathes

Scott Hull – who has mastered many a project for Mathes – calls him a “music renaissance man,” and a producer in a classic sense with “a profound understanding of many genres of music.” We would second that.

I first interviewed Mathes when he was producing Panic at the Disco’s ambitious record, Pretty. Odd., which had been equal parts inspired by the Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s and the filmscore magic of Danny Elfman. Mathes was tapped for his unique ability to help translate these epic ideas into that young alt-rock context, with elaborate pop arrangements and instrumentation.

His more recent work includes albums by a total range of artists, from Sting to Fall Out Boy, Rod Stewart to Bettye Lavette to Train. Mathes is also a true multi-instrumentalist, and a sought-after arranger and musical director, and likewise writes arrangements for a wide range of artists, from Renee Fleming to Just Blaze to Avril Lavigne to Lou Reed, and directs the annual Kennedy Center Honors, and events like the Obama Inaugural “We Are One” concert.

Should be a compelling conversation with a uniquely successful modern producer.
